Coming Out To Family

I am open with my family that I am going t.o have a D/s relationship. I didn't choose t.o be open, but that's a long story for another time. Either way the question remains:

If you were "outed" to your family, how would you choose to tell them?
Own it and walk my slave into Christmas with a collar and leash on
Sit them down and explain a "Don't ask, don't tell" rule
Deny, Deny, Deny, and stop all activity until it cools down
Offer to go see a shrink and swear you'll change

just set everyone done and tell them
you are into the lifestyle..and it is
what you want for yourself. and tell
them you know that it's not for everyone
out in the world..
and that being a part of it makes you feel
happy.

From years of working with confidential information. I have an instilled habit of keeping my mouth shut about projects and any information shared with me. I don't discuss information with people to satisfy their need for curiosity.

It's none of their business and wouldn't care or be surprised. I'm the black-sheep of the family anyways.

My children know because my late wife (their mother) was my submissive and my ex-wife was my submissive. They did not know until they were adults.

I too would g with "Don't ask, don't tell"

My daughter knows what kind of relationship I seek. We watched fifty shades of BS together and I pointed all the things wrong with it, which was pretty much the entire movie.

I think most families have an idea of what bdsm is...

And honestly i think most people see it as 50 shades of grey..

So no need to unpack the whole play bag...

    Quoting  :

And in more ways than one, the cultural issue of being a woman. The hypocrisy would have us be either an affront to feminists or an affront to the traditional attitudes of being a lady and not doing certain things ever. I can relate which is why I am glad it came out eventually

Think about all the other family drama where nobody acknowledges the real truth. This is no different. Sit them down, tell them that you have a wonderful, if unconventional relationship and they should not ask about anything they do not want to know about...and then reiterate that they do NOT want to know about your personal life.

I once told my oldest sister, because she was into the play role sm thing.
The moment i told her how and what i needed, she did not want to have to do anything with me, anymore.
I am also the black sheep, even from before....
But now even more, because what i want is really sick, the can handle the play in the bedroom thing...
But wanting to really life the Power/Authority Transfer..?

Even when i told them, that it is like being gay, not every gay man wants to humb every other man!
it is still about personal preference...
By that time, they did not take anything in, anymore...
It is totally useless to talk or try to explain this orientation, as i see it.

Given the area/background from which they came, and their generation also, I guess my mother would not have understood and my father would have thought it quite cool, so long as I did not abuse the women (in any way other than their preferred choices.)

I would think for a man especially or any Dominant, the stigma of abuse is so heavy that it not only does your head in but makes you question your resolve to effectively and pleasurably give pain.But maybe I am off target....

I get this story on so many levels. I think when we have been in it for a long while especially, we become normalized to so much more than the vanilla head can comprehend. They are still working on a "moralistic" system and repressing their animistic desires to the point of demonizing them, right?
At least my story was like that, it was as if my mother would have preferred me being lesbian to what I desired because she was of the bra burning ilk lol

I like this on many levels if there is not an explosive situation to deal with, then this would be my choice too

infinitepoetess, Well, wanting a 24/7 Totall Authority Transfer, (wich means, the D, could also be a woman,)
The Dominant-Master is in charge, all the time.

That has not so much to do, with having a D/s. i believe...

Most vanillas i know of, are capable to understand the excitement of having a sexual Dominant-submissive 'experience'... in the bedroom, so to say.
A M/s TAT is not about that kind of experience in a relation.
You understand the difference?

and i agree with what you say.
My way of looking at relationships, power games in those mostly vanilla relations...?!
It is such an totall other dimension.

it is like they are from a totall other planet.
Having soo much restriction in their believe /sex system. mindframe....

The thing is, vanillas, believe they are so openminded, that they want to know.. can handle it all...
wich will backfire on them and you.
So if you dont want to open up, on that kind of private stuff, they are even more curious about you...
Soo terrible tiresome.
Thats why i dont like to make new vanilla friends... The always think they have a right to know... about stuff they are not able to handle, at all.
A loss - loss situation.
